Explore Seoul’s palace, hanok lanes, mountain views, ginseng culture, and Gwangjang Market on a flexible half-day or full-day tour.

“Chloe was a great guide! We did the half day tour, and learned a lot along the way. I suggest the morning tour rather than the afternoon, as the palace was practically empty when we arrived so crowds were not an issue. This was a nice way to see more of Seoul and learn about Korean culture. Also, Chloe offers to take photos of you at each spot, so that was extra lovely!”

“Our tour guide Paul was so kind and extremely informative. He is local to Seoul and has studied the culture and history of the area for over 10 years. Each area that we visited was unique and beautiful, but Paul made the experience much more immersive with the knowledge that he shared about each location. Gyeongbokgung palace is an unforgettable place and I would recommend anyone that has the opportunity to visit Korea to go see it. In addition to sight seeing, Paul wanted us to experience the charm in Seoul through other things such as the efficient public transportation and authentic street food. Overall, this was an amazing experience…”
